I dunno, maybe try it in RealBand ..
It doesn't work in BiaB for me either currently.

RB comes with BiaB, so you should have it available
/sorry, best I could do

It is a two step process. First import the MP3 file into the Audio track of Band-in-a-Box. Second access the new Audio Chord Wizard through the Audio Editor.

I found two video tutorials on YouTube. +++ First +++ is a ten minute PG Music tutorial. +++ Second +++ is a thirty five minute tutorial by user Henry Clarke.

It's working fine for me in BIAB 2022. This has been an issue in some earlier builds in 2021 versions for some users. I'll report it to the developers.

Thanks Charlie
I updated to latest version and now it is working, though I wasn't that far behind on updates.

Hopefully this helps the OP

I wasn't aware MP# import didn't work in earlier builds. I tested with build 918. The MP3 I used has a variable bit rate.

I'm glad it is now working for you Hugh2.

Just as a note I think that there's a HUGE difference between my video tutorial and the one in BIAB. My Tutorial takes the song from MP through Audio Chord Wizard and demonstrates how the song can potentially be rebuilt with RealTracks. So just using number that BIAB's is 10 minutes and mine is longer does not really compare !!

Mr. Henry,

I'm sorry you feel I presented your tutorial in a bad light as that was not my intent. I apologize if I offended you.

In my defense in my quick YouTube search for ACW tutorials the two main pieces of information available are video title and video length in time.

Please note I subscribe to your channel. I also "like" each video I enjoy. The highlighted areas in the screen shot below shows the title and time for both the PG Music video and your video.

Yes, your video does present much more information than the PG Music video. But neither the video title or video description note the additional information.

FWIW, I took Jim's post to mean there's a quick PGM video and a more in-depth Henry video.

Yep, it came across that way.
On offer, from Gentleman Jim, was a quickie and a longer, probably more in depth way to learn what was needed.
ANY interpretation otherwise suggests comprehension issues if not paranoia.

There is no need for a defence Jim, none whatsoever.

And as usual Ray wants to interpret what one is thinking. Ray, you just need to give it a break !!
